This game was SOOO much fun! I don't know why it never became more popular! It's one of my favorites.

A game very much like Zelda, Musashi is a young boy who is summoned to another land to save the kidnapped princess. To do so, he must find parts of the legendary sword Lumina and break the spells cast over the five scrolls. Thus, Musashi embarks on a long journey. He strolls around town, shops at the local stores, climbs the nearby mountain, and, of course, has to defeat numerous meanies.

Besides the obvious role-playing/puzzle solving fun, there is plenty of battle to be done with the enemies, which becomes very exciting when you can actually absorb the powers of just about any creature in the game. There are also lots of little fun perks along the way, such as your dance contest with one the head of the Leader's Force (how else would Musashi fight a girl?)

I would highly recommend this game to anyone who is interested in role-playing/platform combination games, especcially if you are a Zelda or Final Fantasy fan. This game is exciting, unpredictable, funny, and it will keep you up all night!

Sword Swinging Fun

Brave Fencer is an amazing game. Some of the puzzles may be difficult but in time you will slove them all. The story line is amazing, it could be turned into quite a good childrens film. If you're worried about people being killed by swords, worry no longer. It's kid friendly violence, the villians don't look human and there is no blood at all. Most of the people have a quick yell and disapeare. I really feel this game will make a great present for any person (who likes video games). So all in all, I recomend it to everyone.

Highly creative, fun game!

When I started the game, I thought it was dumb. It starts off as just a 3D action/platform game. But after the first 10 minutes, it develops into something much more: A highly open ended, involving, entertaining, funny game. The plot flows perfectly, but isn't linear. That is you always know what you should be doing, but you don't have to. There are plenty of other things to do than just follow the plot: Save the prisoners, find all the longivity berries, locate all the secret treasure, go on subquests. This RPG included many clever new features. The idea that somethings only happen at certain times, or on certain days is very clever, as is the fact that Musashi gets tired and needs sleep (although sleeping in the dungeons is a little strange). Most people commented about how they didn't like the voice overs, but I thought they were hysterical. They just took some getting used to. Each character had a strangely unique accient. It gave them personality. I really don't understand why this game was so unpopular. I thought it was a real winner. You should give it a shot.

Another Masterpiece

A engrossing story combined with a breath taking soundtrack make this a very good game. It's what you would expect from Squaresoft. It's graphics are sometimes choppy, but the large and egrossing area's make up for it. It's story is at times joking and then serious. The music is very emotionally conveying. Brave Fencer Musashi can be cosidered on of Squaresofts best games.

Best game, I loved it! Great graphics, sound, voice, bosses,you name it. If the rating went up to 10, I'll give it 10! Figuring out the puzzles and tricks were great, especially the ice temple. Two thumbs and to toes up!

An Enjoyable Game

Well for starters please don't buy this game thinking it will be like Final Fantasy. But this game is fun all the way around. You use your brain alot. Grapics are great and as you learn new techniques your attacks become stronger and a lot more exciting (explosions, crosses, etc.)It has alot of detail and is well thought out. Controls swords are t and s, jump is x.They are so simple a baby could use it. When you have to do a new move the game will tell you how step by step so do worry about not knowing how to use his sword correctly. Camera angles [are awful] sometimes and you can't change them unless you are in the village that is about the only thing that [is awful] in this game. and last but not least is the gameplay. This is where it gets exciting. You are on a journey and they always tell you what to do so you don't get confused.(I also suggest buying the strategy guide). You get to use your enemines abilities against them. You never know what ability you will get. This is a must buy for all RPG lovers

BYE THIS GAME

I remember having a demo of this game as a kid and I loved to play the demo. Now, I saw it for 15$ and decided to get it. It's better than I remembered.

GAMEPLAY: A fine mix of action, Zelda, and RPG. You play as Musashi, the summoned hero. Slaying enimies and solving tricky puzzles in the dungeons. Kinda like Zelda. Musashi has two swords, Fusion, which can swipe fast and turn enimies into powers, [like Kirby] and Lumina, which is slow, powerful, and when you find the Scrolls, can use element power. There is much more things to do, but I'll let you find that on your own.

GRAPHICS: They kind of look like FFVII's graphics: Very pologonal characters, but a bit more detailed this time.

MUSIC/SOUND: As usual, very good.

VOICE: This is the first Square game to have voice acting. The voices can be kind of cheesy, but are very good for a first attempt.

Overall, a great game. If you like Zelda, you will like BFM.

Rent it first

Hey If you're going to buy a game like this which has so many inverse reviews, I recomend renting it to try it out. That is what I wish I had done, some like this I didn't, It was to slow, and nothing like FFVII or VII. You may like this sort of thing, but rent it first to be safe.

Fun Game

When I first played this game I thought it was really cool. THe basic story line is great. The names are kind of corney like Princess Fillet and Allucaneet (All-You-Can-Eat) Palace but does that really matter? The only real let down is the graphics.They are kind of blocky.

If you want a cool game get this one.

PROS: Great Story line
Fun gameplay
Cool funny names

CONS: Kind of disipointing graphics
